Scytalopus rodriguezi - It is a restricted-range endemic presently known only from two localities on the eastern slope of the Cordillera Central at the head of the Magdalena Valley, Colombia at 2000 m or more above sea-level. Its range is believed to be no greater than 170 km², and its population around 2,200 pairs; due to its recent description, no formal evaluation of its conservation status has taken place yet, however. It is found in humid forests with dense understorey.

 

Diademed Tapaculo - The Diademed Tapaculo is a species of bird in the Rhinocryptidae family. It is found in Bolivia and Peru.

 

Puna tapaculo - Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montanes and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.

 

Mouse-coloured Tapaculo - Maurício found that the otherwise relatively well known S. speluncae actually consisted of two species, of which the southern was described as a new species, S. pachecoi, while the northern retained S. speluncae. It was further suggested that S. speluncae included yet another undescribed species, but more work was needed on that matter.

 

Spillmann's tapaculo - Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

 

Scytalopus stilesi - It has been found at 21 sites in montane forest between 1,420 and 2,130 m altitude in the northern Cordillera Central of the Colombian Andes; although having a restricted range, within this limited area it is a common understorey bird. Initiually, it seemed as if the species would classify as Near Threatened , but it turned out to be more plentiful and thus is classified as species of Least Concern in the 2007 IUCN Red List.

 

Vilcabamba tapaculo - This tapaculo was formerly considered to be a subspecies of Magellanic Tapaculo, Scytalopus magellanicus, but is now treated as a separate species based on differences in voice.

 

Narino Tapaculo - Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.

 

Zimmer's tapaculo - Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montanes, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, and rocky areas.
